    Stevenson was a better fighter.

    But who had the better straight hand?

    Wilder's right hand is a thing of legends when he times it and throws it down the line straight and true

    Stevenson’s left was shaper and he threw it more often.

    Not only did he throw it more often, it was far more versatile.

    Wilder. He has/had touch of death in that right hand.

    But like you said, Stevenson was more skilled.

    Yeah Stevenson was far more accurate.

    Stevenson's left was far more effective and versatile, could be thrown in offense or while backing up, or while fighting in the pocket. And he didn't have to telegraph like Eddison to throw it.

    Wilder had the touch of death and considering how light he was relative to the HWs he fought you'd have to give him the edge in power. But in every other metric Superman's punch reigned supreme.
